Another use for Rainbow Rigatoni

I still have one more activity we did with our rainbow noodles that I haven't posted yet. It's nothing big or fancy but it is one more use for a cheap and easy resource.
We made some home made play dough from this recipe for a play group with some of our friends and then we used it and the small dowel rods left over from this toy to create a simple activity (I found it here).

This was a great way for Erik to practice his fine motor control and hand/eye coordination, as well as to create a unique work of art. He loved pushing the sticks into the playdough, and then dropping the noodles over the sticks. This was a great way to keep him busy using things we already had laying around the house.
